Walk Description:

Saturday Explorer Full Day -Axe Edge Moor, Three Shires Head and Danebower Hollow   

The route explores the wild moorland of Axe Edge and visits Three Shires Head where the counties of Staffordshire, Cheshire and Derbyshire meet an idyllic combination of some waterfalls and a fine packhorse bridge. From Three Shires Head, we follow the River Dane upstream before climbing up past a large disused chimney to cross the A54 to join the bridleway leading up Danebower Hollow. The walk also passes quarries where you can still remnants of their production from many years ago. 

If the weather is low cloud and wet for this day I will move the walk but keep it within the Buxton region.
